MSP makes NYT

One of my favorite parts of the Sunday edition of the New York Times is the "36 Hours in _____ city." Well this Sunday, Minneapolis and Saint Paul were the featured city (ies.) Not a bad list of highlights--I'm impressed that Saint Paul destinations were referenced (I admit this is a low bar, but given recent RNC coverage and the nation's failure to recognize that the convention is in St. Paul and not Minneapolis, I'll take what I can get!) and the author also listed some off-the-beaten- path bars (e.g. CC Club, Lee's Liquor Lounge, 331 Club) that probably weren't on visitors' radar screens.

Hi, Mary Kay! I'm Sarah Olsten Peterson, the manager of Yelp.com minneapolis. Are you familiar with Yelp? Basically, it's a web 2.0 site where 'real people write real reviews'. check it out on www.yelp.com.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if you'd have a chance to chat about how Yelp and LEPTC could work together.

If you are planning a visit or looking to move to Minneapolis-St. Paul and want to get off of the beaten track, I can create a custom itinerary for you based on your interests, budget, and length of stay. Contact me at: marykay_bailey@yahoo.com for more information.

About Me

Simply put, I love Minneapolis and St. Paul. Our fair cities have so much to offer everyone--from walkable, leafy neighborhoods and loads of parks to top-notch arts, culture, and food! This blog attempts to capture a small slice of the things that make our cities so stellar.
